Two men have been charged with a hate crime after an attack on a gay man in the bathroom of a historic gay bar in downtown Manhattan early Sunday morning

Could this be as depressingly stupid as we are thinking?

The 34-year old victim, whose name is not being released, was at a urinal inside the Stonewall Inn when one of the defendants allegedly asked him if he was gay, according a news release from the district attorney’s office.

How stupid do you have to be to experience surprise at finding a gay guy in a men’s room at a gay bar? Not that homophobic assholes have been known for their brilliance, but this just sets a new standard.
